Claytronics - Synthetic Reality?

Claytronics - Synthetic Reality? 06/17/2005 07:12 PM
I read an amazing article about how scientists unveil 'clay' robots that will shape our world! This new technology from Carnegie Mellon University called Claytronics promises that we can carry around a lump of this stuff in our pockets that can reshape itself into any object and can even act like 3D TV and create synthetic reality! That is fantastically amazing and totally unbelievable I thought to myself! So I went to their website to take a look and saw a couple of disappointing two-inch robots clicking via electromagnets and a few videos (must watch). Ok, so then I read on to find that such a lump of this cool clay stuff won't be available for years. Now it is a cool thing to see a couple of half dollar sized gizmos connect via electromagnet points (no latching points, no inter-robot-communication, no lifting ability, no cpu resources that I could see) but really, Scientists have created Synthetic Reality with this stuff? This is just too good to be true!

(a) kicking ass; and (b) kicking my ass. Regular Lockergnome operations were suspended last week while we did a little spring cleaning. Turns out, there's more dust under the couch than previously anticipated. That, and we've decided to go out and buy new pieces of furniture. Oh, yes... and it's not spring. I've been so caught up in the maze of my personal and professional lives, that I completely forgot about the hour gain this weekend. I look out the window now and see California smoke, but those fires rival these which are burning in my own little world. "I'd drown apart from that which I learned to live without." My poetry is back with a vengeance....

So now it probably all makes sense why my posting habits here have declined to a mockable all-time-low.

If I had posted more frequently, my entries would have most likely been about the amount of stress I was under or how tired I was from working. And, if i posted that, I'm sure a number of you would have thought "what the hell is she talking about? Movable Type can't be that hard to develop."

And, if I had ignore the self-embargo I had placed on myself not to speak about work, I feared that not only I would have said too much but I would have also created a public record of my weaknesses -- something that I was sure would come to haunt me some day.

So I wrote the sort of posts that kept me in a pre-TypePad, pre-funding state of mind. What you see in my archives from the past few months represents almost all thoughts I've had that relate to my for-public-consumption life. The fact that I've forked has been incredibly difficult to reconcile in dollarshort.org and I'm so terribly happy that, with this announcement, I'm living an secret-free existence.

We write weblogging tools because we believe in the medium. At some point, the writer has to choose what they can and can not disclose in public. Some of this has to do with strategy and some of it has to do with legalities. Weblogging is amazing because you can read the thoughts of a newly-minted CEO and understand, with one post, what has been going through her mind for the past couple months.

That's a power that we can't take for granted.

The online, subscription based, virtual world known as “Second Life” allows you own virtual real estate and to stake your claim in virtual business ownership. Gamers are allowed to sell off parts of their property and virtual real estate sales are up. The Reuters story mentions that for a mere $980.00 to start and $195.00 a month upkeep I can have that private virtual island of my dreams. Now where did I put that hammock?
